GhostLock Exploits Windows API to Disrupt File Access

Meet GhostLock, a proof-of-concept that cleverly exploits Windows API to disrupt file access, causing operational downtime without data loss, similar to the impact of ransomware. By manipulating the CreateFileW sharing parameter, GhostLock effectively locks files, leaving other processes in the dark with a sharing violation error.
